[Bug 518069] [NEW] No option to choose 32-bit or 64-bit

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: testdrive

When booting with the kvm module loaded, testdrive assumes I will use
qemu/kvm which is fine. If I unload the kvm/kvm_intel driver it switches
to virtualbox. Again, this is fine, as it's a quick/dirty way for me to
choose which vm system to use.

However, when choosing kvm it downloads the 64bit ISO, but when I unload
kvm it then goes off to get the i386 image.

The easiest fix for this IMO would be for the user to choose which arch
they wanted to use. Yes, I could manually select an ISO, but I'd rather
just choose "Ubuntu Desktop 32-bit" or "Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit".

The ultimate reason for selection in my use case is because I have
discovered a bug which may only manifest itself in one arch, so I'd like
to be able to force the arch so I can confirm my testing.
